Review article: Earth's ice imbalance [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 We combine satellite observations and numerical models to show that Earth lost 28 trillion tonnes of ice between 1994 and 2017. Arctic sea ice (7.6 trillion tonnes), Antarctic ice shelves (6.5 trillion tonnes), mountain glaciers (6.1 trillion tonnes ...

Multi-decadal monsoon characteristics and glacier response in High Mountain Asia
Environmental Research Letters, 2022 Glacier health across High Mountain Asia (HMA) is highly heterogeneous and strongly governed by regional climate, which is variably influenced by monsoon dynamics and the westerlies.

Climate regime of Asian glaciers revealed by GAMDAM glacier inventory [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2015 Among meteorological elements, precipitation has a large spatial variability and less observation, particularly in high-mountain Asia, although precipitation in mountains is an important parameter for hydrological circulation.

Spatiotemporal dynamic characteristics of typical temperate glaciers in China
Scientific Reports, 2021 China’s temperate glaciers have a relatively warm and humid climate and hydrothermal conditions at low latitudes. Temperate glaciers, however, have larger ablation, higher ice temperatures, relatively fast movement speeds, and a significant sliding ...

Combining UAV and Landsat data to assess glacier changes on the central Tibetan Plateau
Journal of Glaciology, 2021 In recent years, researchers have focused on the applications of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) in environmental remote sensing tasks. However, studies on glacier monitoring using UAV technology are relatively scarce, especially for high mountain ...

Advances in research on changes and effects of glaciers in Xinjiang mountains
Shui kexue jinzhan, 2020 Identifying the changes and impacts of mountain glaciers is of great significance to the healthy and stable development of the mountain-oasis-desert system in Xinjiang. This paper systematically combs through the research results of the physical changes,

Runoff modelling in glacierized Central Asian catchments for present-day and future climate [PDF]
, 2006 A conceptual precipitation–runoff model was applied in five glacierized catchments in Central Asia. The model, which was first developed and applied in the Alps, works on a daily time step and yields good results in the more continental climate of the ...

Towards understanding the pattern of glacier mass balances in High Mountain Asia using regional climatic modelling [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 Glaciers in High Mountain Asia (HMA) provide an important water resource for communities downstream, and they are markedly impacted by global warming, yet there is a lack of understanding of the observed glacier mass balances and their spatial ...
